The figure is PDI Perjuangan politician Effendi Simbolon. Effendi, who was wearing a black shirt and pants, was at the event together with the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo (Jokowi). The head of the Ridwan Kamil-Suswono (RIDO) Winning Team, Ahmad Riza Patria, in his speech greeted Effendi by calling him a PDIP cadre who supports RK and Jokowi. Effendi's maneuver was welcomed by the RK camp. RK also mentioned Effendi's name at the end of the event. According to RK, the Jakarta Pilkada is an event for reconciliation for parties that were divided in the 2024 Presidential Election. Effendi is known to have invited seven thousand Batak people in Jakarta to support RK in the 2024 Jakarta Gubernatorial Election. Ridwan Kamil assessed that this reconciliation did not only occur in his camp. Former Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan, who used to be at odds with the PDIP, for example, now supports the candidate pair supported by the Banteng Party, Pramono Anung and Rano Karno. RK assessed that shifting is a common thing. Effendi Simbolon's maneuver in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada has been responded to by the PDIP. PDIP DPP Chairman Said Abdullah when met at the Senayan parliamentary complex, Jakarta, said he was tired when asked for his response regarding this matter. Said further assessed that these efforts would not affect the electoral level. According to Said, in the regional elections, the most influential thing is the character of the candidate himself. For information, Effendi Simbolon has been known as a PDIP cadre. Meanwhile, PDIP itself has nominated its own candidate for the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election. On August 24, 2023, Effendi announced that he would not run as a legislative candidate in the 2024 election. Effendi was also in the spotlight during the 2024 presidential election because of his support for Prabowo Subianto. Even though at that time PDIP also had its own champion, namely Ganjar Pranowo. During his time as a member of parliament, Effendi often drew attention because of his attitude. Such as when he mentioned the disharmony within the TNI during Andika Perkasa's leadership. He also criticized the quality of Jokowi's ministers in responding to the ransomware attack on the National Data Center (PDN) of the Ministry of Communication and Informatics.
